Ephesus // cats + ancient sites
I like to think the souls of the past lived on in the stray cats inhabiting the remains.
Fun fact: stray cats in Rome are not considered “strays” but “free cats” and they have legal citizenship of the city. They mostly live in the Roman ruins in the city and have legal rights and protection and are taken care of by thousands of specialized volunteers who make sure they’re healthy and fed. A lot of them also get sterilized and there are initiatives to get them adopted.
I guess cats everywhere have a kinship with ancient ruins :)
this does indeed make me feel so much better
I went to the Palace of Malia in Crete in December 2013. We were the only visitors in the whole archeologic site and the only other living beings around were the ticket lady and a super-affectionate cat.
She followed us around for the whole visit, well actually, she was walking in front of us as if she was guiding the tour and at the end of the visit she stopped by the offering table left in situ and took a drink.
Convince me she was not some sort of genius loci, if you can.
You had the best most magical tour guide.

And I just realized that Receiver of Many is, in fact, a edited/polished version of the story I’ve been reading on AO3. This means I definitely need to get this book. I’m so very excited.

Third trimester in a nutshell:
1. I have to do five things today.
2. I have energy for three.
3. One of those three things includes growing a human being from scratch.
4. Fuck my life.
BUT in the past 4 days I’ve managed to crank out another 5 pages of The Thrice Plowed Field, so there’s that.
I don’t I’ll have time to manage a preorder on the book but I do still think that it’s possible to get it out at October 1st at the latest. That is, if the baby doesn’t get here early.
My current self is laughing at my June self’s ideas about what can be accomplished at 32 weeks pregnant. Only 8.5 weeks to go!
